Iuliia that's also my understanding that articles are only behind paywall
if authors will want it. Most tech blog posts are rather free of charge (at
least I never hit "upgrade to read" reading those). So I think this is not
a blocker. Especially that my main point of this proposal was to create an
umbrella for medium posts *that are already there* and asking authors to
move to dev.to to achieve this is overkill imho.

But I think there's nothing blocking us from having Airflow umbrellas on
both medium.com and dev.to - in this way we will support authors no matter
what platform they choose. WDYT?
